The biggest challenge with the wildfires is actually being able to get to the animals, McConnell said. The situation in B.C. is tough for pet owners who have to evacuate and some are forced to leave their animals behind.

"We will do a daily run and check in on the animals ... but we need to check in with the wildfire branch and other officials to make sure it's safe for us to go in."

Need for volunteers
